Note that this is only for male DB-19s (i.e. for peripherals). Alas, you'll still have to hoard your battery-bombed vintage motherboards for female DB-19s. (Or hopefully use a physically different but electrically compatible connector...)

Huh. This reminds me that I have a box of IDC Centronics printer connectors somewhere. Should see what the going rate is on eBay.

I bought two for my NeXT a bit ago.. crazy how expensive the real DB-19 cables are

That's nice of him to part with some, but I feel like most people would rather buy a few than 1000 of them.
